PartⅠReading Comprehension (60marks,60minutes)Section A(每小题2分)Format IDirections:There are 4 passages in this part .Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements .For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C,andD.You should decide on the best choice and blacken the corresponding letter onAnswer Sheet.(40 marks)Passage oneQuestions 1 to 5 are besed on the following passage:A quality education is the ultimate liberator. It can free people form poverty,giveing them the power to greatly improve thier lives and take a productive place in society. It can also free communities and countries, allowing them to leap forward into periods ofg wealth and social unity that otherwisewould not be possible. For this reason,the international community has committed itself to getting all the world's children into primary school by 2015, a commitment known as Education for All.Can Education for All be achieved by 2015? The answer is definitely “yes”, although it is a difficult task. If we now measure the goal in terms of children success fully completing a minimum of five yeas of primary school, instead of just enrolling for classes, which used to be the measuring stick for education, the challenge will become even more difficult. Only 32 countries were formerly believed to be at risk of not achieving education for all on the basis of enrollment rates. The number rises to 88 if completion rates are used as the standard.Still, the goai is achievable with the rigt policies and the right support form the international community. 59 of the 88 countries at risk can reah universal primary completion by 2015 if they bring the efficiency and quality of their education systems into line with standards observed in higher-perforrming systtems.Theg also need significant increasesin external(外部的)financing and technical support. The 29 countries lagging(落后) farthest behind wll not reach the goal without unprecedented(空前的)rates of progress. But this is attainable with creative solutions, including the use of information technologies,flexible and targeted foreign aid, and fewer people living in poverty.A key lesson of experience about what makes development effective is that a country'to use aid well depends heavily on its policies,institutions and management.Where a country scores well on these standards, foreign assistance can be highly effective.1.Ti can be inferred from the passage that a quality education has the function of .A. helping a country free from foreign ruleB. makeing people become wealthyC. giving people more power and freedomD. speeding up the progress of society2.The goal of Education for All is .A. to get all the children in the world to go to primary school by 2015B. to let poor children have the same chances to go to school as rich onesC. to support thoes countries determined to reform their education systemsD. to help the poor countries improve productivity and achieve unity3.What used to be the standard of measuring a country ' education?A.

An increasing number of extended families across the USA are under the same roof living together These arrangements are multigenerational, with adut children, grandchildren or an elderly parent sharing quarters. The reasons are economic and social.“This is a pattern that will continue,”predicts Neil Howe, a historian and economist.”High rates of multigenerational family living had been a norm until after World War II,when the emphasis shifted to the nuclear family enabled by construction of interstate highways, the rise of suburbs and the affluence(富裕)of young adults. But by the late 1950s, there was a generration gap and almost generation war ,” Howe says. “There was a time in the 1970s when no one wanted to live together. Seniors were moving to Leisure World to get away from the culture of the kide.Couples were divorcing and youngsters wanted to strike out on their own. But now, many young adults do return home, at least temporaaily .”Michele Beatty, 54, of Waynesville Ohio, and her husband, Cordon, 56, had an empty nest between the time the youngest of their three sons went to college and the return of their oldest,Patrick, who left his jod as a graphic designer.“They said, 'you can come home to your old room and continue to look for employment, '”says Patrick Beatty,28. “I was stuck there. We were all brought up with the cultural expectation that once you leave the nest, you are not supposed to return.. I feel part of the time like a burden,”he says. “I try to contrbute to the house when Ican. I try to stay out of their way as much as possible. It 's home , but not the home I'd be building for myself if I had my way .”A survey of 2 , 226 adults, done by Narris Interactive for the non-porfit Generations United, found that of those in a multigenerational home , 40%reported that jod loss , changes in jod status or unemployment was a reason for the living arrangement.6.Which of the following arrangements ia multigenerational in the USA ?A.

It's not uniform for health care professionals to eat well or avoid tobacco,”said Dr. David Katz, the director of the Yale University Prevention Research Center.Keith-Thomas Ayoob , associate professor at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine , said nurses are jsut as susceptible to health problems as the rest of society.“Before we were health professionals , we were real people. Just because we became health professionals doesn't mean we stopped being members of regular society with allthe problems thatgo along with it . It illustrates that knowledge alone isn's always enough to produce behaiioral changes,” said Ayoob.The same is true with smoking ,Ayoob said.“We all konw smoking is bad . It doesn'matter if you're a doctor ora nurse or a plumber. You might assume that your interest in health would be higher if you were a health professional, but a lot of doctors and nures smoke,” said Ayoob.“Nurses need to understand the importance of taking care of themselves before patients or their families,”Ayoob said.To combat the high obesity rate among nurses, Kihye Han , the author of the study , proposed more education on good sleep habits, and better strategies for adapting word schedules.
